Lake Drei­weibern

With two wide beaches for swim­ming, Lake Drei­weibern is a great place for all lovers of water and sun. On the north­ern shore, campers can park their motorhomes right on the lake­front and enjoy unin­ter­rupted views of the water. On the beach in Lohsa, a glass pyra­mid build­ing con­tains a café and restau­rant and there is also a play area for chil­dren. The 8km loop trail around the lake is used by cyclists, in-line skaters and run­ners. 

Lake Drei­weibern was cre­ated until 2002 by flood­ing the for­mer Drei­weibern lig­nite mine. This process was com­pleted in 2002 and the lake was approved for pub­lic use in 2005.
